Saw him at Wembley when he was a kid. England - Argentina - watched him walking half the length of the pitch doing keepy uppys at about 50 feet in the air ... never broke step, didn't even seem to look up but he must have .. then he sat and did keepy uppys in a circle ... didn't want the match to start. He was fantastic with the ball. Such an entertainer and for me the best there's ever been at football. Pity his demons got him ... but what a footballer.

LOL@ the hype dude. Yeah Maradona is decent, but nothing special, at least not to me anyway. To be honest, I am better than he ever was and I'm not even a pro (although I could be). And let's be real, Maradona is only as good as he was because he like practices like a "a try hard", like 10 hours a day. I only need like to train 30 mins to be much better than him. And I am both footed, unlike him. I am naturally right but my left is even better this left. So pls dude keep the hype real.
I've never seen another player whose love of having something, in fact anything, to play with comes through as total pure mesmerising brilliant skill. He could be mad as a brush, but that was part of his magic. He was football from hair to toe. Most exciting player I've ever seen....
The personification of the showman in football. In addition to being an extraterrestrial in technical terms, he was the spectacle, the entertainment. One of my greatest joys in life was seeing the end of the career of this genius in real time. The type of player that makes you fall in love with the sport. Absolute genius!
@@Libzalii pele? Are you kidding me? He isn't even better than Ronaldinho and you are comparing him with Maradona? Pele played easy fútbol btw no hate but he isn't even close to Maradona sorry just my opinion
@@Libzalii Pele: “Maradona is incomparable” Pele himself put an end to this comparison. Diego Maradona comes from the golden age of world football, defenders literally broke the legs and cards were very rare (which is why Maradona from 23 year old onwards played the rest of his career with -30% mobility of the ankle of his favorite foot) not to mention the stone balls and never perfectly round and the rough fields never perfectly flat, he showed the world the impossible. Modern football from the 1980s to this day is x2 faster than the football that Pele played (in the Brazilian championship of the 1960s, among other things.) Please, don't compare El Diez to anyone, as Pele says. Because Diego is Diego, inhuman genius, all the rest are good players.
@@Libzalii I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Pele meant the comparison with him, and with any other player. He clearly stated that they cannot compare Diego to him or anyone else because Diego is incomparable. However I respect your thinking, but I advise you to study the past of a discipline you love. Let them tell you, watch entire matches from the past yourself, do something friend, for respect and love of this sport. Maradona after winning the 1986 World Cup alone, for the first time in the history of Napoli he won 2 league titles, an european cup, cups and super cups! From 1986 to 1990. Get better informed! And they stole him the 1990 World Cup final and the 1994 World Cup too !!! Also find out about the cards of that era and find out for yourself why Diego Maradona is considered the most beaten-up footballer in history. There was no referee protection against the best defenders all time! Maradona's technique and motor intelligence was unparalleled, certain plays have never been replicated by anyone in history. Some goals still remain unexplained, they go against the laws of physics. And then tell me which other player in history, after receiving a violent foul, stood up as if nothing had happened with the ball attached to his foot or invented something from the ground. None, only one, Diego Armando Maradona.
I keep on getting surprised with the things he used to do with a ball, plastic bottle, piece of paper or whatever that got to his gifted feet. The only one. The real goat.
Always did unexpected moves in games as if he was living 5 seconds early than other players. Smart and extraordinary talent. My only hero in football. Thx a lot for all the joy u brought to the world hero !
Putting everything together, such as era, state of pitches, lack of protection, technology,balls boots etc and players he played along side, I don't think there is ANY doubt he was and always will be the greatest of all time.
@Jamie Cole you may be right, but Man, his skills were out of this world, his football IQ was just something outside this world, lets not forget we talk here about late 70’s and 80’s. He is not my idol or anything like that, but he was something else, I have to give to him, even though I am doing that against my will.
Like seeing Michael Jackson or Bruce Lee in action, these people Like Maradona are really something else. There's that tiny minority of them, and then the rest of us.
The level of control he had over the ball can't be matched. You see current players try these tricks and you always think they are about to fail. With Maradona you didn't think that at all. As far as technique and control, he was without a doubt number 1 in the world.
I agree. When he was touching a ball the feeling I have observing him is that he was clearly transcending the commonly perceived 3d reality and moving (himself and the ball) into a different one. Untouched by anything else, while interacting with a ball (or any shperical oject may I say) this man was simply closer to the Absolute.
@@igg3937 Exactly, there are so many freestylers or Ronaldos and Ronaldinhos with really great ball handling skills but only Maradona makes it look like the ball belongs to his body, like a planet circling around the sun. Crazy to watch.
Diego was pure art and he attained immortality with that magical run against England in '86. No player has come close to his brilliance. All players know deep down inside it's Diego Maradona and rest of us.
Yeah I remember watching him blatantly cheat and get away with it by conning the ref and then having the audacity to admit to it after the match and stating it was the "hand of god". I despise him, he was an overweight drug addict.
@@OblivionGate Or you could, if you can get past the tin-pot attitude, be more aggravated by the incompetent attempt at a defensive clearance by Steve Hodge that put the ball in the English box; then the even more incompetently embarassing attempt at goal-keeping from a 6ft Peter Shilton that failed to do his job, failed to out jump a 5.5ft Maradona, and do what he should've done - dominate Maradona for size and catch the ball. The utterly inept goal-keeping from Shilton is the most criminal aspect of the whole affair.
@@TheGeezer30 I suppose if I wanted to defend the fact that Primadonna cheated I could see it that way but a cheats a cheat whichever way you look at it... And he was also coked out of his head in most matches he played so not only is he a cheat but a drug addict cheat at that.
@@OblivionGate I ain't defending Maradona, and cheat he did, but the incompetent goal-keeping give him the opportunity. All Shilton had to do was dominate, with his size, and both hands, a 5.5ft midgit coke head, and failed miserably. Shilton had all the advantage, all he had to do was be best man to the ball and catch it. Whether Maradona is a cokehead cheat is irrelevent. But he was given the opportunity to stick his hand in by two moments of incompetent English defending.
Nobody loved that round thing like him. No one will...and the round thing loved him in return. Diego - beautiful - extraordinary - magical 💎⚽️ gonna miss you forever Fluff ❤️🕊
What Diego could do with a football is absolutely God given! Insane skills, mastery and artistry! I simply don’t believe that Pelé or Messi can compete with Diego when it comes to the GOAT.
The likes of Messi and Ronaldo have benefited because football has favoured attacking players since rules were tightened around 2009. Maradona and Pele will be the greatest purely because of what they achieved and the time they achieved it in.
@z0mb1e1fy I probably know much more than yourself. If you don't realise what, not only Argentinians but many other nationalities feel about Diego then you don't know much about him or football. He was a terrible husband and had a serious addiction. However, he is probably the most skilled footballer ever and a good father. Look at any videos of his time with both Argentina and Napoli and see how the fans loved and respected him.
to all the messi/ronaldo fans, please post a link to show then doing anything remotley close to this. and dont forget, maradona was off his tits for much of his career!!

You've an amazing journey ahead. Matilgolz has a number of astonishing videos on Diego. Nothing and no one has come remotely close and doubt they ever will.
Although I support Brazil as a team, Maradona for me is the greatest there ever was. Period. His command of the ball, mental and physical prowess and characteristics were above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen. He was the most gifted player of ALL time. The beautiful game didn’t start until I saw him play in Mexico in 1986. RIP to the Legend that will more than likely never be surpassed.

Didn't matter where diego scored a goal .. in the street with kids ... on a muddy training pitch or in a world cup game he celebrated them all the same such was his love for football. Nobody will ever come close to this genius, they can try but they will not succeed.
I'm English and old enough to remember the Hand of God. I Still think Maradona is the best there ever was or will be. Better than Pele, Messi, or Ronaldo. Maradona was an absolue legend.
@@Kill--alllll---IDF Go and watch the goal. And take note of the complete incompetence of the English player, Steve Hodge, that puts the ball in the box; and then marvel at the complete failure of a 6ft goal keeper, Peter Shilton, to out jump a 5.5ft Maradona, dominate him for size and catch the ball. If the Goal keeper had done his job, then this whole affair would never have happended. But it did contrive to happen, and was the result of Incompetent goal-keeping.
@@TheGeezer30 goal keeper was slow to react on the hand ball because keeper knew he was getting their first before maradona but keeper was bamboozled because his hand came in the way instead of the head, ur English I presume so why are u defining maradona????
@@Kill--alllll---IDF Aye, I'm English, and a proper patriot, not a tin-pot cheer-leader. My dear chap, I'm not defending Maradona. I'm pointing out that the firstly the defensive clearence was very bad, secondly that the job of the Goal-keeper to dominate the ball and use both hands to catch it was a failure in the extreme. Shilton's slovenly effort gave Maradona the opportunity, and Maradona took it. And I will not indulge in baseless, child-minded hate against Maradona because he took an opportunity given to him by Two moments of incompetent English defending. Shilton, being 6ft, and allowed to dominate his box using his hands, was incompetent in allowing any notion of being bamboozled. Shilton should've out jumped Maradona, used his bigger size to dominate him, and used both hands. Instead of doing the basics he made a pathetis effort of a jump trying to punch the ball. But he didn't do his job, he failed, in that moment, to be the best man to ball, and he had all the advantages against Maradona to do so, this must be recognised, and this recongnition sits totally outside of whether Maradona is a cheat or not. If Shilton done his done his job properly, Maradona would never have got his hand to it.
@@Kill--alllll---IDF A Bolton lad, eh! I'm a southener, Buckinghamshire. Barnes was under-used, and to England's serious detriment. It was a failure of England coaching not using Barnes properly. I think Maradona was one of the Greatest, Top Three, no question. The only question is which Two other players go in the Top Three.? Considering the state of the pitches he played on, and the brutal defending he was up against, and the way he carried Argentina and Napoli to greatness. He has the mustard. All the best, pal.
Not only did Maradona's ability make him the greatest player ever but he played the game like a man. He took the hits & kept on going & it was far more physical back then. Compare that to the likes of Neymar who fall at the touch of a feather. What makes his skills all that more special was that there was no internet, no dvd's, etc where he could easily access numerous copies of other performances & simply copy them. He had the natural talent & the work ethic to go create & perfect the skills all by his self.
Yes, I agree, much tougher but to fair Neymar's finesse on the ball is otherworldly.A pure natural. Probably better than Maradona is some respects. But I watched Maradona as a kid and young adult, exciting times.
Touch of feather?! You want to kill Neymar?! 😵What have he done to die like that! Feather... 🥴No, just by mentioning "feather" he will hit the ground and roll around in total sweet agony ... And refs are suckers for that 1. A penalty here a freekick there... 😘
Anyone who questions who the GOAT is doesn't know the game. In Pele's era Maradona would have scored 10 goals a game. In today's game the other team would have 6 red cards by half time. He is the GOAT. Messi is unbelievable but not in the same league as Maradona. There are others as well but none had this boys ball control, imagination and passion. RIP DM.
Spot on! He played in an era when forwards had no protection and single handedly turned Napoli into a top side. He may not have had the longevity of a a messi or ronaldo but he was the elvis of football. Simply the greatest
@@deejay5224 part of that longevity comes from choosing to always be in the most powerful and protected clubs in the game: Barca, Utd, Real, Juve. Maradona left Barca to go to.... Napoli? This makes him even greater in my opinion.
We will never see the likes of him again, just not possible to have this kind of touch let alone with the rock hard balls they used to have. A true genus. The greatest of all time.
The joy, passion, natural gifted talent, determination.. Maradona so effortless & fluent with the ball.. The only one i’ve ever saw can do miraculous things with ball with less effort..
more than his exceptional talent it was above all this unique strength of character, the one that never made him doubt. when others hesitate and doubt under pressure, Maradona becomes the best version of himself and then offers us an unforgettable moment that the world will remember forever.
The greatest and purest footballer that ever lived . There will be nobody like him. Best I've ever seen, and his peers atest to the fact that he was the most purely gifted footballer of all time

If you're a true football fan , you'd understand the words Football GOD. Now this man was a Legend. What you got to ask yourself, would Messi even exist if it wasn't for Maradona? I love Messi in his prime, but I chose Maradona every day over him.
You respect a cheat??? Just sums up modern day mentality of every thing for nothing. The guy wiped away any respect with the blatent handball which for me sums up his whole legacy instead of his ability. And in case you think I am some bitter English fan I am not as I am Welsh.

I've never seen another player whose love of having something, in fact anything, to play with comes through as total pure mesmerising brilliant skill. He could be mad as a brush, but that was part of his magic. He was football from hair to toe. Most exciting player I've ever seen....
😢❤
Him and Gazza were kindred spirits
The personification of the showman in football. In addition to being an extraterrestrial in technical terms, he was the spectacle, the entertainment. One of my greatest joys in life was seeing the end of the career of this genius in real time. The type of player that makes you fall in love with the sport. Absolute genius!
Agreed, whatever people say, he's one of the greatest footballer of all time!
@@Libzalii pele? Are you kidding me? He isn't even better than Ronaldinho and you are comparing him with Maradona? Pele played easy fútbol btw no hate but he isn't even close to Maradona sorry just my opinion
No hate to anyone, Ronaldinho is my third favourite Brazilian
@@Libzalii Pele: “Maradona is incomparable” Pele himself put an end to this comparison. Diego Maradona comes from the golden age of world football, defenders literally broke the legs and cards were very rare (which is why Maradona from 23 year old onwards played the rest of his career with -30% mobility of the ankle of his favorite foot) not to mention the stone balls and never perfectly round and the rough fields never perfectly flat, he showed the world the impossible. Modern football from the 1980s to this day is x2 faster than the football that Pele played (in the Brazilian championship of the 1960s, among other things.)
Please, don't compare El Diez to anyone, as Pele says. Because Diego is Diego, inhuman genius, all the rest are good players.
@@Libzalii I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Pele meant the comparison with him, and with any other player. He clearly stated that they cannot compare Diego to him or anyone else because Diego is incomparable. However I respect your thinking, but I advise you to study the past of a discipline you love. Let them tell you, watch entire matches from the past yourself, do something friend, for respect and love of this sport. Maradona after winning the 1986 World Cup alone, for the first time in the history of Napoli he won 2 league titles, an european cup, cups and super cups! From 1986 to 1990. Get better informed! And they stole him the 1990 World Cup final and the 1994 World Cup too !!! Also find out about the cards of that era and find out for yourself why Diego Maradona is considered the most beaten-up footballer in history. There was no referee protection against the best defenders all time! Maradona's technique and motor intelligence was unparalleled, certain plays have never been replicated by anyone in history. Some goals still remain unexplained, they go against the laws of physics. And then tell me which other player in history, after receiving a violent foul, stood up as if nothing had happened with the ball attached to his foot or invented something from the ground. None, only one, Diego Armando Maradona.
I keep on getting surprised with the things he used to do with a ball, plastic bottle, piece of paper or whatever that got to his gifted feet.
The only one. The real goat.
Always did unexpected moves in games as if he was living 5 seconds early than other players. Smart and extraordinary talent. My only hero in football. Thx a lot for all the joy u brought to the world hero !
Putting everything together, such as era, state of pitches, lack of protection, technology,balls boots etc and players he played along side, I don't think there is ANY doubt he was and always will be the greatest of all time.
PRECISELY.
Agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯

@Jamie Cole Who gives a damn about you lol ? and your heroes...
@Jamie Cole you may be right, but Man, his skills were out of this world, his football IQ was just something outside this world, lets not forget we talk here about late 70’s and 80’s. He is not my idol or anything like that, but he was something else, I have to give to him, even though I am doing that against my will.
@Jamie Cole not really i prefer women not pricks
He was the football, the genius, the joy, the dark part. He was all.
I think we all can agree that see him doing this things seems like magic.
That pure magic
Like seeing Michael Jackson or Bruce Lee in action, these people Like Maradona are really something else.
There's that tiny minority of them, and then the rest of us.
For real
The level of control he had over the ball can't be matched. You see current players try these tricks and you always think they are about to fail. With Maradona you didn't think that at all. As far as technique and control, he was without a doubt number 1 in the world.
The ball will never ever be touched like that again!

It was by ronaldinho
Ronaldo is brilliant but i think its actually sad that you cant see the massive difference
Are you referring to the "hand of God"?
@@mrporsche4236 Ronaldhino stands alone at the pinnacle of ball control skills.
Every time a thought of cr7 and Messi are better comes to my head all I got to do is watch one video of maradona and the debate is over
Don't ever equate cr7 to messi. Messi is a playmaker, dribbler and goalscorer. Cr7 is just a goalscorer
Messi is the master of solo goals
Messi and Maradona are the 2 best player ever
Comparing Maradona to Messi and Ronaldo is like comparing Monet to a high-performance printer
Absolutely no comparison
The connection and relationship this man had with a ball just blows my mind.
I agree.
When he was touching a ball the feeling I have observing him is that he was clearly transcending the commonly perceived 3d reality and moving (himself and the ball) into a different one.
Untouched by anything else, while interacting with a ball (or any shperical oject may I say) this man was simply closer to the Absolute.
Connection is the right word. It's very peculiar to watch, almost like an extension of his body.
@@igg3937 Exactly, there are so many freestylers or Ronaldos and Ronaldinhos with really great ball handling skills but only Maradona makes it look like the ball belongs to his body, like a planet circling around the sun. Crazy to watch.

Yeah I remember watching him blatantly cheat and get away with it by conning the ref and then having the audacity to admit to it after the match and stating it was the "hand of god".
I despise him, he was an overweight drug addict.
@@OblivionGate Or you could, if you can get past the tin-pot attitude, be more aggravated by the incompetent attempt at a defensive clearance by Steve Hodge that put the ball in the English box; then the even more incompetently embarassing attempt at goal-keeping from a 6ft Peter Shilton that failed to do his job, failed to out jump a 5.5ft Maradona, and do what he should've done - dominate Maradona for size and catch the ball.
The utterly inept goal-keeping from Shilton is the most criminal aspect of the whole affair.
@@TheGeezer30 I suppose if I wanted to defend the fact that Primadonna cheated I could see it that way but a cheats a cheat whichever way you look at it... And he was also coked out of his head in most matches he played so not only is he a cheat but a drug addict cheat at that.
@@OblivionGate I ain't defending Maradona, and cheat he did, but the incompetent goal-keeping give him the opportunity. All Shilton had to do was dominate, with his size, and both hands, a 5.5ft midgit coke head, and failed miserably. Shilton had all the advantage, all he had to do was be best man to the ball and catch it. Whether Maradona is a cokehead cheat is irrelevent. But he was given the opportunity to stick his hand in by two moments of incompetent English defending.

And take note of the complete incompetence of the English player, Steve Hodge, that puts the ball in the box; and then marvel at the complete failure of a 6ft goal keeper, Peter Shilton, to out jump a 5.5ft Maradona, dominate him for size and catch the ball.

@@TheGeezer30 goal keeper was slow to react on the hand ball because keeper knew he was getting their first before maradona but keeper was bamboozled because his hand came in the way instead of the head, ur English I presume so why are u defining maradona????
@@Kill--alllll---IDF Aye, I'm English, and a proper patriot, not a tin-pot cheer-leader.
My dear chap, I'm not defending Maradona. I'm pointing out that the firstly the defensive clearence was very bad, secondly that the job of the Goal-keeper to dominate the ball and use both hands to catch it was a failure in the extreme. Shilton's slovenly effort gave Maradona the opportunity, and Maradona took it. And I will not indulge in baseless, child-minded hate against Maradona because he took an opportunity given to him by Two moments of incompetent English defending.
Shilton, being 6ft, and allowed to dominate his box using his hands, was incompetent in allowing any notion of being bamboozled. Shilton should've out jumped Maradona, used his bigger size to dominate him, and used both hands. Instead of doing the basics he made a pathetis effort of a jump trying to punch the ball. But he didn't do his job, he failed, in that moment, to be the best man to ball, and he had all the advantages against Maradona to do so, this must be recognised, and this recongnition sits totally outside of whether Maradona is a cheat or not. If Shilton done his done his job properly, Maradona would never have got his hand to it.
@@Kill--alllll---IDF A Bolton lad, eh! I'm a southener, Buckinghamshire.
Barnes was under-used, and to England's serious detriment. It was a failure of England coaching not using Barnes properly.
I think Maradona was one of the Greatest, Top Three, no question. The only question is which Two other players go in the Top Three.?
Considering the state of the pitches he played on, and the brutal defending he was up against, and the way he carried Argentina and Napoli to greatness. He has the mustard.
All the best, pal.
Not only did Maradona's ability make him the greatest player ever but he played the game like a man. He took the hits & kept on going & it was far more physical back then. Compare that to the likes of Neymar who fall at the touch of a feather. What makes his skills all that more special was that there was no internet, no dvd's, etc where he could easily access numerous copies of other performances & simply copy them. He had the natural talent & the work ethic to go create & perfect the skills all by his self.
Yes, I agree, much tougher but to fair Neymar's finesse on the ball is otherworldly.A pure natural. Probably better than Maradona is some respects. But I watched Maradona as a kid and young adult, exciting times.
Touch of feather?! You want to kill Neymar?! 😵What have he done to die like that! Feather... 🥴No, just by mentioning "feather" he will hit the ground and roll around in total sweet agony ... And refs are suckers for that 1. A penalty here a freekick there... 😘
For me r9 is still the absolute best
Anyone who questions who the GOAT is doesn't know the game. In Pele's era Maradona would have scored 10 goals a game. In today's game the other team would have 6 red cards by half time. He is the GOAT. Messi is unbelievable but not in the same league as Maradona. There are others as well but none had this boys ball control, imagination and passion. RIP DM.
Spot on! He played in an era when forwards had no protection and single handedly turned Napoli into a top side. He may not have had the longevity of a a messi or ronaldo but he was the elvis of football. Simply the greatest
@@deejay5224 part of that longevity comes from choosing to always be in the most powerful and protected clubs in the game: Barca, Utd, Real, Juve. Maradona left Barca to go to.... Napoli? This makes him even greater in my opinion.

Best human who touched the ball ever. The game is in his blood. At that time DM thought about the fun in playing the game not the millions of $$$.
RIP Diego.
